A Likely Stor y by Leigh McMullan Abramson is punctuated with fragments of a compulsively readable book-within-a-book about a woman determined to steal back the spotlight from a man who has cheated his way to the top. The only child of an iconic Amer- ican novelist discovers a shocking tangle of family secrets that upends ever ything she thought she knew about her parents, her gilded childhood, and her own stalled writing career in this brilliantly obser ved, "standout debut about family, secrets, and the costs of protecting a precious lega- cy" (Fiona Davis, author of The Magnolia Palace). A Likely Stor y is available at the librar y and on your Libby App. Grab and Go Kids Crafts will be available on Wednesday, April 5 at both libraries until supplies is gone. This month's craft is a Handprint Cactus. Classic Book Club is reading The Two-Family House by L ynda Cohen Loigman. This Historical Fiction novel is set in Brooklyn, 1947: in the midst of a blizzard, in a two-fam- ily brownstone, two babies are born minutes apart to two women. They are sisters by marriage with an impenetrable bond forged before and during that dramatic night; but as the years progress, small cracks start to appear and their once deep friendship begins to unravel. No one knows why, and no one can stop it. One misguided choice; one moment of tragedy. Heartbreak wars with happiness and almost but not quite wins.

Youth First Today By Deena Bodine, MSW, LCSW Parenting your teen through heartbreak Parenting presents many re- wards and challenges. Watching our children grow into teenagers who are working to manage de- mands, grow more independent, and build interpersonal relation- ships is one of those rewarding experiences. During the adolescent years, our teens are likely to experi- ence milestones, including an interest in more romantic rela- tionships as well as developing a deeper capacity for sharing in relationships that are more intimate. We, as parents, can be caught off guard when our child experiences heartbreak. As adults, we may look back fondly on memories of our first love, or we may cringe while remembering what we thought was love. Our children's experi- ences can often evoke respons- es from us rooted in our own personal experiences. At times, it can be challenging to know how to best support and encour- age our children. Heartbreak is no exception. First, our initial response in this situation should be to listen to our child. Listening allows our child to explore and process their thoughts and feelings with- out interference. This can be a challenge for us because we have spent so much of their lives offering suggestions and advice. Second, we should validate their feelings. Heartbreak is an example of grief and loss, and with that may come feelings of sadness, anger, and guilt—not unlike those emotions experi- enced with the death of a loved one. Validation involves tuning into your child, acknowledging their feelings without ignoring, dismissing, or judging. Following a breakup, it can be common to distance your- self from others. While it can be beneficial for your teen to take time for themselves, it is also important for teens to stay connected. Discuss finding a balance between taking time for themselves and connecting with others. Keeping busy with activities your teen enjoys can do wonders for the healing process. While it may be a challenge for your teen to avoid their ex, espe- cially if they attend the same school or have the same circle of friends, encourage your teen to set healthy boundaries. This includes online too. Encourage your teen to practice healthy so- cial media habits and limit post- ing or commenting online re- garding their relationship. They may choose to limit messaging or online interactions with their ex as well. Lastly, assist your teen in maintaining their routine as much as possible. Check on their health habits, including sleep and staying active. Encourage your teen to talk with family and friends who can support them. Help your teen recognize the positives of a breakup, which include learning more about themselves as well as what they want (or don't want) in future relationships. If your teen is struggling to move on following a breakup, or if feeling unsafe in any way, it is important to advocate for help on their behalf. Encourage your teen to talk to someone they trust. If these feelings are af- fecting daily life, stopping them from doing things they enjoy, or have lasted longer than a couple of weeks, it may be beneficial for your teen to talk with their physician or a counselor.
